angl — arc grains. use an arc to control pitch and speed granulation of four audio files.
earthsea — polyphonic synth, controlled by grid or MIDI. includes grid-based pattern recording and transposition. a super-minimal version of the eurorack module.
orbit — loop collector. dual async start-stop loop recorder. controls for rate and volume per voice.
playfair — euclidean drummer. four sequences, each with its own sample.
Requirements
angl — arc, glut engine, audio files.
earthsea — grid. polysub engine. also functions as a MIDI synth given MIDI input.
quick check: does playfair have grid functionality? I think there were a few old g.s floating around, but even after adjusting those I only get the top row
also, line 20 needed updated to load on my machine.
original: local ack = require 'ack/lib/ack'
updated: local ack = include 'we/lib/ack'
Angl is awesome: I love the elegant simplicity of the interface.
I am always the one talking about the need for the machines to retain their states through power-cycle. So this is me chiming about this again: wondering if some sort of “freezing” of the state of the device is possible. Even if not preserving the settings of all the params, then at least the sample reference per stream…
With this app especially so much happens through exploration and finding some brilliant moments of convergence between the 4 streams, that finding it all totally wiped next time I turn on the Norns feels somewhat painful.
Pain or not though: it is seriously amazing to work it with the arc!
Thanks for pointing this out @tehn!
I see the function is there, and am super excited about it!
I saved a “default” setting.
BUT
after starting Norns up today, that setting did not load by “default”. OR I should say, it looked like it did: as in inspecting the params all values were there, but it produced no sound.
I messed about with re-setting the arc as a device, loaded the “default” setting manually again, and eventually the sound came out.
SO
It sort of worked, sort of not.
I would be curious to hear how your testing turned out!
cannot open /home/we/dust/code/we/lib/polysub.lua: No such file or directory
when I try to use earthsea. How do I get this mythic polysub and how do I install it? Thanks for bearing with me.
Really enjoying the Ash/Earthsea script, but I am having some trouble with the pattern recorder. Specifically I’ll start recording a pattern and as soon as I loop it, it will transpose from the original pattern. Basically, it’s transposing when I don’t want it to, or haven’t asked it to via the grid. If I reload the script it will work for a few pattern recordings, but will then start automatically transposing to a seemingly random note again. Any ideas? I should say I am new to Norns and have no coding knowledge whatsoever! Thanks for any and all help.
I continue to get a crash when loading Angl & Playfair. The other two work flawlessly. There’s a load init problem with these two. I also have the current version of we in my code folder. Anything I might be missing?
I just spent three days troubleshooting my norns, so I can totally relate to the process- if a reset doesn’t work, for whatever reason then download the latest version of we and try that. I’ve had to download the same scripts a few times to get them to work.
